The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to
horrorfan [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The remaining part of the question reads;

the first paragraph;

<em>I spent my teens and much of my twenties collecting printed rejections. Early on, my mother lost $61.20—a reading fee charged by a so-called agent to look at one of my unpublished stories. No one had told us that agents weren’t supposed to get any money upfront, weren’t supposed to be paid until they sold your work. Then they were to take ten percent of whatever the work earned. Ignorance is expensive. That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent.</em>

The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to

A. <em>justify an action by invoking an ethical principle</em>

B. clarify a point by defining an ambiguous term

C. show how anecdotal evidence supports a claim

<em>D. provide meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em>

<em>E. demonstrate that a common practice has harmful effect</em>

Answer:

<u><em>D. provide a meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em></u>

Explanation:

By saying, "<em>That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent" </em>the narrator had revealed a very interesting statistic about the value of money back then.

In other words, the context surrounding the statement helps the average reader quickly understand that a month's rent used to be <em>lesser</em> than $61.20; very interesting statistics at that.

KIM [24]

Answer:

T_{2020} = 15

Explanation:

Given

T_1 = 10

T_2 = 20

Each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms

Required:

Explain how to solve the 2020th term

Solve the 2020th term

Solving the 2020th term of a sequence using conventional method may be a little bit difficult but in questions like this, it's not.

The very first thing to do is to solve for the third term;

The value of the third term is the value of every other term after the second term of the sequence; So, what I'll do is that I'll assign the value of the third term to the 2020th term

<em>This is proved as follows;</em>

From the question, we have that "..... each term after the second term is the average of all of the preceding terms", in other words the MEAN

T_{n} = \frac{\sum T{k}}{n-1} ; where: k = 1 .... n -1

<em>Assume n = 3</em>

T_{3} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2}

<em>Multiply both sides by 2</em>

2 * T_{3} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} * 2

2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2

<em>Assume n = 4</em>

T_{4} = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3}{3}

T_{4} = \frac{(T_1 + T_2) + T_3}{3}

Substitute 2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2

T_{4} = \frac{2T_3 + T_3}{3}

T_{4} = \frac{3T_3}{3}

T_{4} = T_3

Assume n = 5

T_{5} = \frac{T_1 + T_2 + T_3 +T_4}{4}

T_{5} = \frac{(T_1 + T_2) + T_3 +(T_4)}{4}

Substitute 2T_{3} = T_1 + T_2 and T_{4} = T_3

T_{5} = \frac{2T_3 + T_3 +T_3}{4}

T_{5} = \frac{4T_3}{4}

T_{5} = \frac{(5-1)T_3}{5-1}

<em>Replace 5 with n</em>

T_{n} = \frac{(n-1)T_3}{n-1}

<em>(n-1) will definitely cancel out (n-1); So, we're left with</em>

T_{n} = T_3

Hence,

T_{2020} = T_3

Calculating T_3

T_{3} = \frac{10 + 20}{2}

T_{3} = \frac{30}{2}

T_{3} = 15

Recall that T_{2020} = T_3

T_{2020} = 15
